cable of a hai-r-w.a-ving heater, whereby the Figure 2 is a bottom view of the appa:- g" latter can be variously suspended in averratus, he heaters with their. "attaching tically adjusted relation above the head of means'being omitted from said View; I a.v person, and when not in usecan beread'ily Figure, 3 is a plan View of the apparatus,

tions of the device, however, being shown in plan.

Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the said above described views, to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now to the several figures of the drawings, the reference-character 1 indicates a suitable ornamental chandelier, conn'n'ising a chambered body consisting of a lower shell or member 2, with the surrounding marginal flange-like element 3 of which is suitably connected an upper shell or member 4, the said members 2 and a being mounted in fixed position upon a stem or rod 5 in any suitable manner, for suspension of the apparatus from the ceiling, as will be clearly evident. The said chambered body thus provided may be of any suitable size and configuration that may be desired. Circnlarly spaced about the flat portion 6 of the said lower shell or member 2, are suitable holes or openings in which are disposed suitably formed tubular members, as 7, securely fixed in place by lock-nuts 8 and 9, on opposite sides of the shell, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, each tubular member carrying upon its lower end-portion an electric receiving socket, as 10, of any usual type and construction. Sin'iilarly, the annular marginal flange 3 of the said lower shell or member 2 is provided with a pair of suitably disposed openings in which are disposed suitably formed tubular members 11, securely fixed, in place by lock-nuts 12 and 13 on opposite sit oi": the said flange 3, said tubular members carrying upon their other end-portions electric receiving sockets, as 1d and 15, of any usual type and construction, as will be clearly evident from Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings. Leading in from the said socketld is an electric cable, as 1616', which is electrically connected with one of the said sockets 10, and with which the other sockets 10 and the socket 15 are electrically connected by means of the circuitwires 17-17, as will be evident from an inspection of Figure 3 of the drawings. It willfbe understood, however, that the ar rangen'ient'hcre shown for electrically connecting in circuit the various sockets may be changed: without departing from the scope of the present invention, as we are the same fully aware, that the several sockets may be otherwise arranged and may be diiierently connected in electric circuit.

Connected with the socket 15 may be an electric lamp of any suitable construction which may serve as a resistance and also for illuminating purposes.

Adapted to be screwed, or otherwise secured in the several sockets 10, as in one of said sockets as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, are contact-plugs 18 and electrically connected. with each plug 18 is an electric cable 19, which as is shown in the present case may terminate in branch cables 20 and 21, within a suitable fixture 22, the said branch-cables usually extending through the apertures of an adjusting member 122 of any usual form and construction, and each cable being electrically connected with an electric heater, as 23, in which a portion of the hair of a person is adapted to be arranged for permanent hair waving. The said electric heaters may be of any suitable construction, except that the outer shells or bodies of the respective heaters are made at one end with annular enlargements, as 24, which provide spacing heads so that the heaters when placed side by side with their inner ends and the said spacing-heads in contacting relation, as represented in Figure 1 of the drawings, may be angularly arranged with relation to one another, so that any desired number of such heaters may be located in a circle or in an arc forming part of a circle upon the head of the person, to enable the operator to employ a large number of such heaters, when found desirable.

I As will be seen from an inspection of Figure 1 of the drawings, the inner end-portions 123 of the bodies of said heaters 23, are squared with relation to the cylindrical bodies of the heaters, each squared end being of substantially the same cross-area oil the body, whereby with an arrangement of the heaters, above stated, they are adapted to contact at both ends, so that a large number oi? heaters can be arranged circularly .in a

minimum SPHCG'UPOH the head of the person being treated.

That the several heaters may be adjustably suspended with relation to the chandelier and with relation to the head of the person suitable adjusting means or devices may be employed.

One arrangement of such adjusting deylces is shown in connection with the draw lngs filed with this application. One general arrangement of such devices is mo "e particularly represented in Figure 3 of the drawings, and the detail construction of each adjusting device is illustrated more particularly in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 As shown, in the present instance, the base 25 of the previously mentioned lower shell or member 2 of the chandelier has a number of circularly arranged screw-threaded post-soc standards 26 suitably'secure'd invertical'po sitions by an arrangement ofti ghtening or; lock-nuts 27 and 28, with a locl(\va'sl1.er 2-!) usually arranged upon each post betweenthenut 2'8 and the uppersurfac'e of the base Upon its upper screw-threaded endportion, each post "26 is provided, with a supporting means, usually in the formof anut 30, upon which is placed and embracing the shank of the post, the eye or loop-por of each cotter-pin, and held against j displacement 20111 the latter by means of suitably formed collars and 36, the latter having retaining portions 87 forced into de-y pressions 137 in the said split shanl'c-pon trons oi the-cotter-pin, shown ni -Figure 7 of the drawings, or: other suitable fasten ing means, is a spring-controlled spool, as 88, b Each spool, as will be seen more particularl from an inspection of said Figure 7," consi-'sts'; of a pair of side-discs or plates 39 and 40, be

tween the outer edge-portions of which is clamped, or otherwise secur'eth a cylindrical druin- )ortion 41 all arran ed" to "no-vale c s l a hollow or chambered spool or sheave-,-

havin an outer Jeri )h'er'al cord-receivin I and guiding'porti-on, as 42. Suitably disposc'chwithin the cl'iamber 43 thus provided is a spiral spring 44, having itsouter endportion 45 suitably secured to the. drumportion 4H, and having; its inner end-pee tion 46 in clamped arrangementbetween! the split. shank-portion of the cotter-pin, substantially as shown in Figures 6 and '7 of the drawings, with its tree portion 4? aranged about one of the shank-portions of the cotter-pin and secured by means of a rivet 1-8. To strengthen the said fastened end portion, the parts inay be encased in a protecting re-intorcing band 49, which SUI rounds the cotter-pin and is secured in place by the said rivet 48, substantially as shown in Figure 6 of the dra.wings Normally wound upon the cylindrical drum 41 of each spool or sheave, with its one end inserted through a perforation 50 in the plate or disc 39.-andsuitably secured, is a. coiled tape or cord 51, or other flexible connection, the free 'end port-ion of whiclris run through a hole r1 ropening; in the base 25 of the lower shellj2, said free end-pen tion of the tape or cord 51 havingsecured theretoa: suitably constructed clamp, as 53] the pivotally connected and sp'iInn-actuated.

grasping: jaws-of which are ada 'itedtobn brought into holdingengagement withany a manner as clearly shown in Figure lot thedrawings." 1

From an inspection of said Figure 1 1t "will be evident, thatth'e suspended heaters,

thus carried 'by the tapes or cords, will suitable portion of the electric cable 19, in

counterbalance the action of the spiral springs so that the operator can pull the heaters in a downwarddirection any degree that may be desired, or he may allow the spring to assume it's rewindin-g' actioin'so that the heaters, when not in use, will bejsus-y pended at suitable heights above the person,-

"either before or after application to the hair upon the head.

If desired, the uppers'hell or 1nen'1bei-4 of the chandelier may be provided with suitably 'dispo'sedipos'ts or standards 54;:carry- 56, o'r'ot-her means c t-suspension, over which the coils of the heater can be placed, tors-us ing a ring 55 whichis provided with hooks I pending the heatersr ntirely out of the way,"

when not in use. 7 p I I x-Fro ni the foregoing description oi the present invention, it will be clearly seen that We havedevised a simply 'coi'istructed,

as well a an ornat'edevice, lathe funnel a chandelier, which may be. providedwith any desired number of adjustable heaters adapt ed for permanently waving thehair of a person, the heaters being arranged in such a manner, that all may be used atone time,
